re: PuttaDaForkDown

Well, that has to be a bummer. Did you make sure it was balanced when you got it? Hang in there, and congrats on what you have done so far.



Still no additional loss for me. I don't know what to do. Everything was going great, then I get down to the last 8 pounds and I'm dead in the water.

Official 3 month update:

266.6/228/190 I didn't hit -40 lbs today like I wanted (actually gained a little from yesterday ). Still, there are a ton of positives:

1. I'm 38.6 pounds lighter than I was 3 months ago and over half way to my goal.
2. My worst week was a break even week, and that was after a planned 2 day cheat. Other than that, I have lost at least 1 lb per week.
3. I have actually enjoyed both the Atkins and Weight Watchers phases of the diet. In the past, I've had success on diets but didn't enjoy them. This time, I really don't feel like I'm missing out on anything. This lets me know I'm really ready to make a long-term change.
4. I've met some really cool and inspiring people on the Puttadaforkdown thread. Thanks to all for the encouragement and I look forward to getting to know everyone better.

The only real negative that I can think of is that I have not yet started a consistent exercise regimen. If I'm not careful, I'm gonna be one of those skinny but flabby and unfit dudes. I've always thought that was worse than just being fat.

Hulk & Bham, I know that you will find that if you start moderate and build up, exercise becomes it's own reward. Integrate something you enjoy and have some fun.
My last update,after one of my hardest workout weeks ever, I had gained 3lbs. Interestingly, after pulling either a muscle or tendon in my rib cage sparring Kung Fu, and laying off two days, I dropped 4.
351/298/250 yay for tiny steps.

i have been riding the stationary bike at the local y. i have got my times down. last time i rode i had 5 and half minute mile intervals for 6 miles. i havent really started working out just trying to get weight off. im down 16 lbs .

Back to almost 182, but still 2 pounds heavier than last week thanks to that Taco Bell Breakdown.

170/151.5/147

vacation over with only +.5 and that's prbably water from the fast food.

hey CAD I ran into a situation where I have fasted instead of eating just because. forgot to go to the store to pick up eggs for breakfast, so I skipped breakfast. I'm going to probably skip lunch just because I don't want to eat out.. If I'm just way too hungry I'll eat but otherwise I'll skip lunch and then eat dinner tonight.

ARE YOU PROUD?

When i skip meals, I get so hungry that I have zero control over what I will eat. Usually end up at some buffet and eat a week's worth of calories.

I'm actually not even hungry right now.

But I have had 2 cups of coffee, a no carb no sugar rockstar, and a 16 oz bottle of water so maybe that has something to do with ti.

Okay I'm starving now, definitely eating lunch!

Screw it. I just joined all you cheating mofos and had lunch at the Chinese buffet. I am hoping that this will confuse my body so much that I will shock it into starting to lose again.
